Well shoot

Posted by: Nic on: 05.04.2009

I’m home sick, and as is my wont when I have free time and the weather’s crappy, I’ve been roaming around the Internet. Since I called out of work, I don’t want to be posting on Facebook or Twitter, even though, realistically, sneezing and coughing shouldn’t mean that I can’t type, right? But better not [...]

Lighten up, Francis.

My mom is understandably super happy about Obama’s win. It really shows her how far we as a nation have come. My mother grew up in segregated South Carolina.

Vote!

Posted by: Nic on: 11.04.2008

Hey, Americans! Get out and vote your conscience! Remember that there’s more going on today than voting for the next president of the USA. Make sure you know what other races are going on in your area, and if there are any law changes/Constitutional amendments/referendum questions you need to think about. I voted at 6am [...]

The one where everybody lies

Posted by: Nic on: 11.03.2008

I was talking last night to a good friend who lives in Virginia, when she brought up the election. I know that she’s usually pretty indifferent to politics and her husband are generally skews right, so I wouldn’t have introduced the subject at all. But once she asked me who I was voting for (Obama) [...]
